Our Founders' Vision

Our story began with the vision of our founder, Tracell Peace-Nichols, and our co-founder, Timmy Nichols. They saw a pressing need in the community and decided to take action. What started as a two-person effort to help a handful of at-risk youth has now grown into an organization that serves many young people each year. The founders' legacy of compassion and commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.
